Don't know that I'd watch again just to rescore it, no doubt Mayweather won the fight. Although I don't think the judges scorecards reflect the actual fight I watched. In my opininon though not close enough to be called a draw or for it to have gone majority or split, I do think it was a little closer than it was scored. Either way, both men fought an excellent fight. Mayweather showed why he's undefeated and Cotto showed why he was worthy of being in the same ring with him. Neither man has anything to regret.
I've watched the fight twice. I actually thought it was closer on the first viewing. Round 8 was the only round Cotto clearly won. I thought he won round 6 as well. Rounds 3 and 5 were other rounds that you could make a competant argument that Cotto won. The judges all gave Mayweather rounds 1,2,4,7,9,10,11,12. They all gave Cotto rounds 6 and 8. Two of the 3 gave Mayweather rounds 3 and 5. Frankly, if you think Mayweather only won by 1 or 2 rounds, then you're not very good at differeniating between punches thrown, and punches landed. Sometimes you just need to realize that your scoring is off, possibly due to a biased agenda.
Im one of the few like I stated before many times not influence on the potential Manny/Floyd fight. No one is going to get a decision against them two no matter what they do. Other than the last round and the three out the first four rounds, everthing else was very close or Cotto's rounds. I just dont see how we are seeing these ridiculous scorecards when Cotto actually was pressing the action most of the night. DLH loses by SD and Cotto by those scoresatsch How in the world did DLH or even Judah got scorecards that reflect that they did better than Cotto when they face Floyd:huh
Pressing the action is not a scoring criteria. Miguel pressed the attack, and threw a lot of hard punches. However, most of them were being blocked, deflected, or rolled. The guy eating the majority of the flush punches was Cotto. Even when Mayweather was up against the ropes, he was still connecting with the better shots.
If your score it objectively looking at who was effective, landing the clean blows, this was very close fight going into the championship rounds. The 8th round was not the only clear round for Cotto - that was his biggest round. Floyds biggest was the 12th. Basically every other round was extremely competitive. The ones I gave to Cotto I saw him landing more clean effective punches. Again , the body shots were key , and they went totally unnoticed. We're just gonna have to agree to disagree. I saw a different fight then you.
Compubox doesnt mean **** to me. WE KNOW what we saw. we dont need a ****in machine controlled by a human to tell us who won
And it's what half these guys on here try to score fights by. No wonder they're scores are way off from judges.
I rarely post on here to be fair, i'll usually just go through the threads and read comments, but come on OP..really??? Floyd by 1 or 2 roundsatsch I really have to question your objectivity with this one. Cotto won 2-3 rounds period (even if you gave him a 4th I woulndt argue too much), floyd won the first 5 clearly. Cotto was game and after just watching the Cotto-Pac fight I'm confident that this was the best Cotto has been for some time. I think people underestimate the effect the Margo fight had on Cotto, when you compound that with the sub par corner Cotto has had along with the sub standard training camps (which I think is a fair assessment based on how good Cotto has improved since switching trainers) to not give floyd the credit he deserves is stance I can only describe as ridiculous. Floyd beat the best Cotto at this time and beat him soundly.
